Render tab

The collapsed view includes necessary options for rendering the model:

Render Image Size

Sm. - Render a small size image

Med. - Render a medium size image

Lg. - Render a large size image

Hi-res - Render a high resolution image

SketchUp - Render an image to match the SketchUp window

Custom - Set to any size

Processing time and required memory capacity are directly (linearly) related to the total number of pixels in your rendering. Higher resolution renderings will take longer to complete and consume more memory.

Stop Rendering After

No Limit - render indefinitely, until you stop the rendering

Passes - specify the number of rendering passes

Each successive pass improves on the solution for lighting and reflections

Set to 0 to disable

Minutes - specify a time limit, expressed in minutes

Process as many rendering passes as possible in the specified time

Set to 0 to disable

Note: When a value is set for both Passes and Minutes the rendering is completed at the moment either limit is reached.

Make Panoramic Image

Make a 360 degree panoramic rendering of your model.

To achieve the best result, set Render Image Size using Custom, 4000px x 2000px.

After the panoramic image is completed you can view it in a compatible viewer. There are many free viewers available (do a Google or other web search), FSP Viewer is just one: [1]
